Virat Kohli, who recently became the fastest cricketer to score 12,000 ODI runs, has added another record to his name but apart from cricket. He is the highest-ranked Indian in the list of top 25 global Instagram influencers.

Hype Auditor, a global data collection and analysis platform, released the ranking after analyzing 1000 accounts. In the list, topped by Cristiano Ronaldo, Kohli features at the 11th spot. Anushka Sharma, Virat’s wife, holds the 24th spot with an authentic engagement of 2.6 million per post. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi features at the 17th position in the list.

Meanwhile, Virat Kohli is currently in Australia to feature in the marquee four-match Test series, but he will feature in the opening match. The skipper has taken paternity leave for the last three Test matches as his wife is expecting the birth of their first child in early January.

Earlier this week (December 11), Virat and Anushka celebrated their third marriage anniversary. Although the couple was not together to celebrate the auspicious occasion, they shared beautiful posts on social media wishing each other for years together.

Virat Kohli becomes the fastest cricket to score 12,000 ODI runs:

As far as the Australia tour is concerned, Virat Kohli will look to lead the team to win in the first Test although his side is inexperienced to play with the pink ball in Australian condition.

Earlier, in the ODI series, the flamboyant batsman overtook Sachin Tendulkar‘s record to become the fastest cricketer to accomplish 12,000 runs in international cricket. He achieved the unique feat in 242 innings while Tendulkar scored as many ODI runs in 300 innings.

The all-important Test series will begin on December 17 in Adelaide. The last three Test matches will be played in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane from December 26-30, January 7-11 and January 15-19.
